Corneal Inlays
Corneal inlays are implanted in the cornea to treat presbyopia, an age-related condition that results in a loss of flexibility in the eye’s lens. Inlays result in more balanced vision and are the best long-term solution for presbyopia.

Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a loss of flexibility in the eye lens. People with presbyopia often notice they need more light to read, and have to hold reading material at arm’s length to focus.

A Revolutionary Procedure
We’re proud to have been the first eye center practice on the West Coast to offer the KAMRA™ inlay eye surgery.

What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that results in the loss of flexibility in the eye’s lens. This decreased flexibility makes it difficult to read close-up objects like books and newspapers.
-
What inlay am I a candidate for?
NVISION offers the full suite of presbyopic solutions. Your surgeon will recommend what’s best for you.
-
How soon will I be able to resume normal activities?
For most patients, the full benefit of inlay is realized within one month post-procedure and others may take longer. Most patients return to normal activities as early as the day after their inlay procedure.
-
Will the treatment for presbyopia affect my distance vision?
The majority of patients who are treated for presbyopia find that their distance vision remains unaffected.
-
Will my presbyopia progress after a corneal inlay procedure?
Corneal inlays will typically last until cataracts develop, providing good reading vision. With or without a corneal inlay procedure, your eye’s lens will steadily become less flexible, and then more clouded.

What is the difference between the Raindrop® near vision inlay and KAMRA™ inlay?
Raindrop® patients tend to be mildly hyperopic, while KAMRA™ patients tend to be mildly myopic.
